here is what i have done so far:
i suppose i ll start again, thanks for reading my case
So i redid the steps with the original USBs. Same result. then replaytv5000 suggested i remake my USBs and i did. While making the 4th disk i found that i was using a 8gb drive and dd finished but gave an error:
C:\Users\bali\Desktop\GTVHacker\Tools>dd if=../USB4.img of=\\.\V
f66-11e1-a4ec-002421ebce2d} bs=4096
rawwrite dd for windows version 0.5.

i think i found the problem, dd gave me an error on image 4 but i didnt pay attention. so the problem was i was using an 8GB card. when i used a 4GB card there was no error. will redo, hopefully everything works.
edit: With newly written error free usbs, I redid the steps, everything went as per the instruction (even the error on step 4). But chrome still crashes. maybe its a win vista issue? (wiki does say dd doesnt work with win7)
So today -3/6:
i did a "System Data reset" option 1 on the recovery menu. The System build is still "unknown." and nothing has changed.
Option 2 on the recovery menu. "system recovery" says there is no recovery data.
If i pick "system info" option in recovery the first two items are blank. I forget their name but i think it kernel version and something.
where can i get files for a clean install of 3.2 and then redo the mod? -

On another note, my system update is working, it almost updated itself to 20120222. I was lucky i turned off the wi-fi just to be on the safe side, i later looked at my update page and it was almost completely downloaded when it stopped. I am no longer connected to the network.
